To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

In the morning, Yang felt hungry, so Xu Huizhen made a big pot of cabbage, potatoes, meat and vermicelli stew. The hot pot of stew was paired with steamed buns freshly baked at the post station. It was so delicious that she didn't even waste the soup and used it to dip the steamed buns.

The exile team rested at the post station, and the officials rode fast horses to Jizhou to report the news. The round trip took three or four days, and the exile team rarely had a few days of good life.

After two days of rest, Yang felt better. When the weather cleared up and the rain stopped, it would be even better if she could give Zhang a beating.

Zhang had been living in fear for the past two days, fearing that Yang would beat her. Just after she finished breakfast, she saw Yang's family coming to her door angrily. Zhang hurriedly ran out and Yang chased after her.

Zhang accidentally tripped over a piece of firewood on the ground and fell flat on her face. Before she could get up, Yang pressed down on her and started slapping her in the face.

Yang beat her and scolded her: "You old bitch, you are so pretentious all day long that you have sores on your head and pus on your feet. When the bandits came, you pushed my daughter-in-law to take the blame for you. Why don't you take a piss to see if you are worthy?

You two are always making trouble. You have an entire family that has come to this godforsaken place, and you are not satisfied enough yet you are trying to harm others!"

Zhang was beaten so badly that her face was bruised and one of her molars fell out. Yang beat her like crazy.

At this time, a bunch of people who wanted to smooth things over came out, and several elders shouted, "Stop it, it's a violation of the rules!"

Only then did Yang climb down from Zhang's body with dignity.

Xu Huizhen couldn't take it anymore: "Dear elders and clansmen, I want to ask how to deal with the Zhang family's cruelty to their own people. We can't just keep it to ourselves. My mother-in-law is furious. The Zhang family has really screwed our family over. We're going to a place with high mountains and long roads in the snow. We have to stick together to survive, but when the bandits came, she pushed the clansmen to take the blame. She's betraying her family. The Zhang family used to be so domineering and never took the clansmen seriously. Why is she still sucking the blood of the clansmen now?"

At this time, the Li clan members who were watching the excitement remembered Zhang's usual behavior and shouted: "Kill the clan, kill the clan. This kind of scourge cannot be allowed to stay!"

Li Wenting bowed deeply to the elders and said, "For the sake of our descendants, please divide the clan fairly!"

The elders saw that the situation was hopeless and there was nothing they could do. The people were scattered and the tribe looked at their branch with hatred. After so many years of suppression, the tribe had become extremely angry. Their branch occupied the best resources of the tribe, and no one could suppress them today.

He had no choice but to take out the family tree. All the clan property was gone, and only the branch of the clan was marked on the genealogy. From then on, the Li family was divided into several small branches.

Li Wenting breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better not to have such a useless teammate who would only hold the team back.

Three days later, the official returned, buried his colleagues on the spot, and continued on his journey with these people. After another month of walking, they arrived at Yushu Town. This place is called a town, but in fact it is a large barracks and logistics base built by the officers and soldiers of the garrison and the exiled farmers.

The yamen runners would complete their mission by handing over these exiled people to the garrison to complete the formalities.

Nurgan is too big a place, so feeding tens of thousands of officers and soldiers becomes a problem. If they transport food from the Central Plains, it is too expensive for both people and horses. Seven out of ten stones of food have to be eaten on the way, so the court desperately sent prisoners to this place. Once they arrived, they would farm and collect taxes to directly supply the border troops and garrisons.

In Nurgan, each person was given 20 mu of land, and the guards harvested 20 kilograms of grain per mu of land each year. Li Wenting's family was allocated 230 mu of land. This place didn't care whether you were a slave or not. Even if you had a child, you had to cultivate the land.

The servants sent by Xu Huizhen to build the house were also very capable. They built five brick and tile houses and sixteen adobe houses. The land here was not valuable, and the information center allocated four acres of land for buying a residential plot for only three or two taels.

After the Li family came over, they could start a business and live there. The other families who had no arrangements could only live in the adobe houses provided by the garrison. These houses were made of wood and mud and could only guarantee that they would not freeze to death.

Although Nurgan is desolate, it is rich in resources, including ginseng, sable fur, cold water pearls, roe deer caught with sticks, fish scooped with ladles, and pheasants flying into the rice pot.

Yang sat on the warm kang, feeling comfortable all over. Snow was falling outside the window, but the room felt warm as spring. The family gathered around the small kang table to eat: braised bones with pickled mustard greens, fried cucumbers and fragrant fish, pork stewed with vermicelli noodles, and radish stewed with meat. The food was accompanied by fragrant rice.

The Li family did not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. The family finished their meal while talking and laughing. The servant brought Lao Junmei from Jinling, and the family thought it was better for the man to be alive.

Yang took a sip of hot tea and said, "This is how people live. Wenting, can we grow enough crops on the land we've been allocated? There don't seem to be many temporary workers here."

Li Wenting raised his eyebrows. "The only way is to buy more livestock. Luckily, there are many livestock sellers here. Buy a few more cows. I'll ask the broker if there are any Silla maids. If I buy more, there will be people to farm the fields."

Yang: "It's good that you have a plan. These people in the family rely on you to make decisions."

The winter in Nurgan is quiet, and every household is staying in hibernation. Yang has recently fallen in love with Nurgan's sweet and sour tea. Every day, Yang, who sells tea on a cart, spends five cents to buy a large basin, and the whole family drinks it together. Even the servants can drink two bowls. The tea is made by grinding millet and soybeans into juice with water, boiling it, and fermenting it. It is sweet and sour and delicious.

The leisurely winter passed quickly, and people who had eaten cabbage and potatoes for a whole winter finally ushered in the season of revival. Li Wenting looked at the large piece of land in front of him and his eyes went dark. This was not 230 acres of land, but 500 acres. The vast wasteland seemed to be mocking Li Wenting mercilessly.

What could he do? He got to work. Li Wenting brought the twenty-six slaves he had bought from Silla, along with his six servants and a housekeeper. After cutting a firebreak, he began burning the wasteland.

It took two full days to burn it all out, revealing the dark soil underneath.

There was no one idle in the Li family now; even Yang was at home cooking. Spring plowing was the most tiring. Li Wenting led the men in the fields, while Xu Huizhen led the men in delivering fertilizer. Fertilizer was crucial to the success of a good crop.

It took the family's ten oxen more than ten days to till the soil. Li Wenting had replaced the wheat and rice seeds he had bought with the high-yield varieties stored in his space. If he was going to farm, he had to do it well.

Over 300 mu of this large plot of land was planted with wheat, and another 100 mu near the river was planted with rice. Li Wenting also arranged for over 30 mu to be planted with crops such as soybeans, grains, and sugar beets.

After much trouble, the whole family finally finished planting the fields.

Li Wenting was still busy because the house at home was not big enough, so he bought another piece of residential land which was only more than ten meters away from his home. Li Wenting built thirty adobe houses on the new residential land for the Silla slaves he bought to live in.

Li Wenting had just finished working on the house when the grass started to grow in the field, so he quickly arranged for people to start hoeing the ground. Hoovering such a large field was exhausting, and everyone was sunburned all summer.

Autumn is supposed to be a time for enjoyment, but unfortunately, aphids were discovered in the fields again. Fortunately, Li Yujin took out the waste residue from alchemy and soaked it in water, which proved to be very effective against aphids.

He fed the water to his chickens and they didn't die. This is a killer. Li Yujin thinks he can make a fortune selling this. There is a completely blank market.
